Persistence and strobe crosstalk are two separate benchmarks.
You can get 1ms persistence but terrible strobe crosstalk (double images).
Meaning super-sharp images but the images are doubled-up.
The ZOWIE XL2546 already does 0.25ms persistence at 240Hz (Blur Busters Strobe Utility -> Strobe Length -> reduce value). I've measured it myself, 0.25ms persistence is already here today with some compromises (1) Very dim picture, and (2) Strobe crosstalk
At 240Hz it is not fully able to fully hide LCD pixel transitions (GtG) in the blanking interval between refresh cycles.
We need faster scanout and/or faster pixel response, to reduce strobe crosstalk at 240Hz.
We need brighter backlights (and wider brightness adjustment range) so we lose less brightness during strobe mode.
So you are right, AUO could be the best improvement if what they are saying is true!
Long term --- Hopefully these new AUO panels will also be overclockable to 480Hz too -- any panel capable of 0.5ms LCD GtG is something we need for 480Hz operation. Do not believe the manufacturers when they say 480Hz is not important, it is important to keep pushing the Hertz higher, to eventually achieve blurless sample-and-hold (strobeless ULMB, strobeless blur reduction). Achieving 1ms CRT quality with zero flicker / zero strobing requires 1000fps at 1000Hz. (persistence equals frame time on sample-and-hold). -- It will take time -- especially it will also require GPU breakthroughs coming in the future, so I predict 2025 for 1000Hz gaming monitors -- but the journey to true 1000Hz is definitely worthwhile!
